“Over the last few weeks so many amazing Houstonians have stepped up to foster homeless cats and dogs in our community,” Best Friends’ Houston program manager Kerry McKeel said. “In celebration of National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day, we are showcasing just a few of the thousands of animals that are available to adopt through our local municipal shelters and through Best Friends Houston. We are all coming together in a collective effort to help animals in our community find homes and we hope those who watch the virtual pet adoption event will join us. This amazing display of heart and grit by Houstonians represents a new opportunity to change how serve our local families and they pets they love. One of the new opportunities is use technology to accelerate progress and reach more people through virtual experiences. Changing how we operate will us to save more lives and keep more families together.”
